Another desperate, fake ‘Israeli apartheid’ report  

In an extraordinary move to attain media synchrony, Amnesty International actually pre-positioned an “embargoed” press release to maximize simultaneous anti-Israel impact.

By  Edwin Black, ISRAEL HAYOM

Amnesty International is attempting to bomb the world’s airwaves, news sites and printing presses with yet another fake “Israeli apartheid” report. Last week, in an extraordinary move to attain media synchrony, Amnesty actually pre-positioned a press release emblazoned with a bright red instruction to editors: “Under Strict Embargo until Feb. 1, 2022.”

A press embargo is an agreement commonly utilized with editors to withhold news until a pre-determined moment, generally to maximize simultaneous impact across outlets.

In this case, the over-hyped Amnesty report is a rehash of old, discredited and falsely premised allegations of “Israel apartheid” – detached from reality. The rehash seems intended to undercut the diplomatic progress that the Jewish state has made with its Arab neighbors via the Abraham Accords and the dynamic ascendancy of its Arab citizens who make up 20% of the population.

Trump wants Pence INVESTIGATED for refusing to overturn the election  

Donald Trump criticized his former VP Mike Pence again on Tuesday for not ‘overturning’ the election results, and is now claiming Pence should be investigated for failing to ‘send back’ votes in states where Trump claimed fraud.

He wrote about it in a statement from his Save America PAC – a day after saying Pence ‘did have the right to change the outcome’ and that ‘he could have overturned the Election!’

Having learned that Pence’s former chief of staff Marc Short testified before the House Jan. 6th Committee a day ago, Trump is now calling for an investigation into the vice president. He is also demanding an investigation into Nancy Pelosi, who he accuses of failing to protect the Capitol.

Saudi Journalist On Cutting Ties to the Palestinians  

What is the Saudi Crown Prince up to?

By Hugh Fitzgerald, FPM   Jan 31/22

Nothing gets published in Saudi Arabia without approval from the government. On January 23 the newspaper Okaz, which is one of the most popular and influential newspapers in the Kingdom, published an opinion piece on why Saudi Arabia should break with the Palestinians. The text is here: “Popular Saudi newspaper says it is time to stop supporting Palestinians,” Elder of Ziyon, January 23, 2022:

…On Sunday, it published an op-ed by Mohammed Al Saed titled, “Is it time to break with the Palestinian cause?” And his answer is an emphatic “yes.” He describes how the Palestinians have been political opponents of Saudi Arabia for over 30 years.

In the year 1990, in the fiercest challenge faced by Saudi Arabia and the Arab Gulf states, following Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait, nobody was surprised by the Palestinian leadership’s support for Saddam. Both inside Palestine and in the diaspora, the Palestinians chanted for Saddam and demanded for him to kill the Saudis and destroy their cities with internationally prohibited weapons. The chants of “Chemical, Saddam, from Khafji to Dammam” still resonate in the Saudis’ memory today.

TIERNY NEWS – Brilliant Summary of Jan 6  

TIERNY NEWS

Doug Logan, the man behind the Arizona forensic audit, said that Arizona AG Mark Brnovich’s office has interviewed him numerous times and their 2020 election investigation is reaching a conclusion soon. So there’s work going on behind the scenes on election fraud in Arizona. Will there be ARRESTS and DECERTIFICATION? We shall see.

Meanwhile, it’s 11PM on election night, November 3, 2020, and you went to bed happy, like I did, because it was obvious that Trump already won. When you woke up – you found they stopped counting and rigged all the swing states for Biden – in the dead of night.

Adelson’s Paper Shifts From Netanyahu to Bennett, and the Editor-in-chief Is Out  

Boaz Bismuth, who has served as the editor-in-chief since 2017, has found himself increasingly at odds with the Israel Hayom’s revised support of Netanyahu and embrace of Bennett’s premiership

By Itay Stern, HAARETZ   

Editor-in-chief of Israel Hayom Boaz Bismuth is leaving his role after almost five years, a spokesman for the daily said on Monday.

Israel Hayom, established as a free newspaper by tycoon Sheldon Adelson in 2007, swiftly became Israel’s most read paper and played a key role in the Netanyahu’s ascent. Edelson’s wife, Miriam, has taken over the reins of her late husband’s business empire, including Israel Hayom.

In recent years, the newspaper has shifted its editorial line from only supporting Benjamin Netanyahu, to an increasingly favorable stance toward Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, said people with knowledge of the paper’s affairs.

“It Is No Secret that the Current US Administration Is Encouraging the Houthis to Be More Aggressive”  

by Khaled Abu Toameh, GATESTONE INSTITUTE  •  January 31, 2022

  • The Arabs say that the Biden administration made a mistake when it decided last year to remove the Houthis from the international terrorist list. The Biden administration’s move, they noted, has emboldened one of the most dangerous terrorist groups in the Middle East and endangered international peace and security.
  • Ultimately, the terrorism of Iran and its terrorist groups will reach the US, and, as with Afghanistan, it is the Biden administration that will justly be blamed.

On Sunday morning, Knesset members belonging to the Religious Zionism party toured western Samaria, focusing on areas in Area C (designated to remain in Israeli hands in the event of a partition) that are de facto being taken over by Palestinian Arabs. Accompanying them was Samaria Regional Council Head Yossi Dagan, who told the MKs about the efforts being made to counter Arab encroachments. Several community council heads also joined the tour, from the towns of Alei Zahav, Bruchin, Leshem, Barkan, and Kiryat Netafim, as did representatives from community land planning councils.

At the start of the tour, Dagan noted that Arab encroachment includes the paving of new roads, erection of buildings – illegally constructed – and other actions.

Biden Should Beware of Russia and Qatar  

by Gregg Roman,  JNS  January 30, 2022

https://www.meforum.org/62981/biden-should-beware-of-russia-and-qatar

Haggling with dictators, such as Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani (left) and Russian President Vladimir Putin (right), to secure the free world’s energy supply is bad policy.

Russia and Qatar are at opposite ends of the European natural-gas supply crisis, sparked by fears of a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia is seen by the West as a provocateur; Qatar is framed as an erstwhile savior, expected to make up for potential Russian losses.

Counter to this perception, the two countries share indistinguishable policy positions towards Europe and the United States, and their leaders are acting in a similar fashion. Indeed, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is as much of a threat to the West as Russian President Vladimir Putin, and should be treated as such by U.S. President Joe Biden.

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM      Jan 31/22

The article, among other things, claimed that, “Hamas — and the Palestinians as a whole — have desperately real and legitimate grievances against Israel.”

WAYNE ROOT: The Covid Storyline is the Greatest Scam in World History.  

The Truth is This is a “Pandemic of the Vaccinated” – And the Vaccine is Killing Us

By Assistant Editor, GATEWAY PUNDIT  

By Wayne Allyn Root

This week has been eye-opening. Even for me – and I’m the guy who has warned for over a year, in commentary after commentary, and often 3 hours a day on my nationally-syndicated radio show, that the Covid vaccine is dangerous and deadly and will lead to catastrophe.

I stuck my neck out like no other talk show host in America to warn the vaccine would not prevent illness, in fact it would damage the immune system – thereby causing more illness and death. And not just from Covid-19, but also injuries and death directly from the Covid vaccine itself.

Eight months ago, I warned it was time to suspend the vaccine program, pending an investigation of the mounting deaths, grievous injuries and permanent disabilities. I titled my commentary, “What if this experimental Covid Shot is Killing People? Don’t Americans Have a Right to Know?”

Eric Zemmour and the Future of France (Part 2)  

Eric Zemmour and The Future of France (Part 1)

By

One of the pleasant stories that the French have been telling themselves is that while the first generation of Muslim migrants may hew to their Muslim ways, and be difficult to integrate, their children will increasingly leave some of those beliefs behind as they try to fit in to their new society. This turns out, alas, not to be true. “Éric Zemmour: France’s Last Chance for Survival?,” by Guy Millière, Gatestone Institute

According to a poll published in September 2020, 74% of French Muslims under the age of 25 said the laws of Islam were more important than the laws of the French Republic. Another poll published two months later showed that 57% of French Muslims under the age of 25 wanted to live under Islamic sharia law.

Pity is not an Antidote for Contempt, and Respect is Better than Friendship  

 by Victor Rosenthal

Mickey Levy, the Speaker of the Knesset, went to Germany on International Holocaust Remembrance Day and spoke to the Bundestag, the German parliament – in Hebrew. He ended his speech with a recitation of the Kaddish, during which his voice broke and he covered his face with his hands. He said later in an interview on Israeli radio that it was an incredibly emotionally affecting experience, and a great honor.

I listened with mixed feelings. No, I admit it, they were not mixed. I was horrified. I was disgusted. Everything about this affair was wrong, the content of his speech (I’ll get to that), his recitation of the Kaddish, his expression of emotion there in the Bundestag.

Lebanese foreign minister rejects Gulf nations’ demand that Hezbollah disarm  

Iran-backed terror group is a ‘Lebanese party par excellence’ and handing over its weapons is ‘out of the question,’ says Abdallah Bouhabib

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon’s foreign minister said Saturday that his country will not disarm the Iran-funded Hezbollah terror group, one of 10 confidence-building measures requested from Beirut by Persian Gulf nations.

“I am not going to hand over Hezbollah’s weapons nor end Hezbollah’s existence. This is out of the question in Lebanon,” Foreign Minister Abdallah Bouhabib told satellite broadcaster Al-Jazeera, calling the jihadist group a “Lebanese party par excellence” that is active in the government but does not dominate politics in Lebanon.

Allen West: If Israel goes, Western civilization goes  

Ex-Congressman Col. Allen West says Israel supporters must not let Arab lobby rewrite history, says fate of West tied to fate of Israel.

By David Rosenberg, INN 

Former Congressman (Florida-R) Col. Allen West addressed the 2017 Christians United for Israel (CUFI) summit in Washington DC on Monday, warning that pro-Arab activists in the US and abroad were working to erase Jewish history, and thus undermine the State of Israel.

West, who represented Florida’s 22nd congressional district in the US House of Representatives and is a combat veteran from both Iraq wars, argued that the fate of Western civilization was tied to the future of the Jewish state.
